I think you'll soon discover most laptops do not support being overclocked.
The process generates extra heat and uses more battery - things that laptop manufactures try very hard to control.
If you go through all those menu options, and don't see any where to change the processor speed (providing your processor is unlocked), or the memory voltage, or the graphics card, or increase fan speeds, than you can't use BIOS to overclock.
It may be possible with software from AMD or Intel, but then you'd only be adjusting the processor clock speed.
And the caveat with overclocking is you run the risk of physically damaging your rig.

The BIOS is yours to play with, expect if a work unit and the IT Department has locked certain areas, or if an area is greyed out then that option isn't available on your model.
Another way to bring up boot options is, as Windows starts, hit F9, F11 or F12 - I can never remember which.
There is also the ASO (Advanced Startup Options) menu.
Simplest way to get into that is to start the PC normally and once started, shut it down be holding the Shift key while you do Start + power icon + Restart.
That will restart straight to ASO where you can Troubleshoot > Advanced Options, and in there should be where you can change boot options.
